Hi Mike,

I would probably add them to you list, and send them any deals you find (along with your other buyers).

If they don't seem interesting in anything you send ask them why they weren't interested in your previous deals.
If they don't give you solid answers about their criteria they are wasting your time, and you should drop them from your list.

It's better to have quality over quantity.

Nick,

I too would be interested in chatting whenever you have the time.

A good way to find the wholesalers is to think like a "desperate" seller. You could try Goggling "Sell my House in " or "Stop Foreclosure". Another online source would be Craig List or Backpage.

You should check out Nick J.'s (motiv8td) BP blog . He blogged out finding buyers on Craigslist not too long ago It will give you some insight on some methods a wholesaler uses to find buyers.

A non-internet method would be to be on the look out for bandit signs in the area(s) you plan to invest in. Also, try going to your local REI meetings and start networking. Get your name and what you want to do out there. Let people know you actively want to buy.

My take on this is if you are working with the owner of the house it is best to be upfront with the them. I believe this will help them feel less like they're being taken for a ride, and they aren't surprised when they see paperwork for the transaction and it's going to your buyer.

Hello Jaren,

The best place to get a contract would be a real estate attorney in your area. They are going to be the most familiar with your state contract laws.

Another source would be Google. I've found a few when I would search for them. You will of course want to have an attorney review the contract. It'll cost you some money upfront, but at least you'll know the contract is solid. :cool:

Marc & Joseph,

Thanks for the welcome, and for the advice! Being a reserved person going out and trying to get in front of the buyers is going to be my biggest challenge, but I would rather face that than live with fact that I never tried at all.

Hello, my name is Brian. I am new to real estate investing scene. I have been reading BP forums for a while, and decided to finally introduce myself.

I started out trying to jump into the rehabbing properties, but I did not have the liquidity to follow through on any deal I was after. I am now starting to dive into wholesaling.

I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know fellow investors in my area and here on BP! :D
